Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung für einen Gasanalysator nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a liquid metering device for a gas analyzer according to the preamble of
Eine derartige, einen Tropfengenerator umfassende Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung ist aus der
Für die Verarbeitung oder Behandlung von Flüssigkeiten, beispielsweise deren Analyse, kann eine vorherige Reinigung der Probe von gelösten, nicht verdampfbaren Anteilen durch vollständiges Verdampfen und anschließendes vollständiges Kondensieren der Flüssigkeit erforderlich sein. Speziell bei der Prozesschromatographie soll der Dosiervorgang prozesstauglich, d. h. automatisch durchführbar, sein. Die kleinste dosierbare Flüssigkeitsmenge soll deutlich unter 0,1 μl liegen und eine Diskriminierung der verdampften Flüssigkeitsprobe, beispielsweise in Form von lokalen Konzentrationsunterschieden unterschiedlicher Verdampfungsbestandteile im Dampf, ausgeschlossen sein. So führt z. B. einfaches Eintropfen der Flüssigkeit in einen beheizten Verdampfungsraum zu einer ungleichmäßigen Verdampfung, weil jeder einzelne Tropfen in einer durch Tropfengröße und äußere Umstände bestimmten Zeit fraktioniert verdampft; dabei verdampfen Inhaltsstoffe mit niedrigem Siedepunkt zuerst und Inhaltsstoffe mit hohem Siedepunkt zuletzt.For the processing or treatment of liquids, for example, their analysis, a prior cleaning of the sample of dissolved, non-evaporable fractions by complete evaporation and subsequent complete condensation of the liquid may be required. Especially in process chromatography, the dosing process should be process-suitable, i. H. automatically be feasible. The smallest metered amount of liquid should be well below 0.1 .mu.l and a discrimination of the evaporated liquid sample, for example in the form of local concentration differences of different evaporation components in the steam, be excluded. So z. B. simple dripping of the liquid in a heated evaporation space to a non-uniform evaporation, because each individual droplets in a fraction determined by drop size and external circumstances time evaporated; it will evaporate low-boiling ingredients first and high-boiling ingredients last.
Bei der bekannten Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung ist daher ein Tropfengenerator vorgesehen, der bei Anregung einen Flüssigkeitstropfen entgegen einer Gasströmung aus einem kalten Bereich in einen beheizbaren Bereich, z. B. ein Kapillarrohr, schießt. Der Tropfengenerator weist einen Vorratsraum und einen durch einen elektromechanischen Wandler, z. B. einen Piezowandler, veränderbaren Verdrängungsraum mit einer Austrittsöffnung für die Tröpfchen auf.In the known liquid metering device, therefore, a drop generator is provided which upon excitation a liquid drop against a gas flow from a cold area in a heated area, for. B. a capillary tube shoots. The drop generator has a reservoir and a through an electromechanical transducer, for. As a piezoelectric transducer, variable displacement chamber with an outlet for the droplets.
Mit dem die Flüssigkeit in Tropfen mit hoher Geschwindigkeit verschießenden Tropfengenerator lassen sich kleinste Tröpfchen mit einem Volumen von beispielsweise 50 pl erzeugen, so dass über die Anzahl der zu erzeugenden Tropfen auch kleinste Flüssigkeitsmengen genau dosiert werden können. Die in den beheizbaren Bereich geschossenen Tropfen verdampfen dort schnell und vollständig, wobei es wegen der sehr geringen Tropfengröße und der ungesplitteten Betriebsweise zu keiner Diskriminierung der Flüssigkeitsprobe kommt. Flüssigkeit, die unbeabsichtigt aus der Austrittsöffnung des Tropfengenerators quillt, wird mittels der Gasströmung entsorgt und gelangt nicht in das Kapillarrohr.With the droplet generator firing the liquid in drops at high speed, the smallest droplets having a volume of, for example, 50 .mu.l can be produced, so that even the smallest quantities of liquid can be precisely metered via the number of droplets to be produced. The drops shot into the heatable area evaporate there quickly and completely, with no discrimination of the liquid sample due to the very small drop size and the unsplit operating mode. Liquid, which unintentionally swells from the outlet opening of the drop generator, is disposed of by means of the gas flow and does not reach the capillary tube.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannte Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass sie für die automatische und quasi-kontinuierliche Flüssigdosierung in der Prozessanalytik geeignet ist.The invention has the object of developing the known liquid metering device to the effect that it is suitable for automatic and quasi-continuous liquid metering in process analytics.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe durch die in Anspruch 1 angegebene Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung gelöst, von der vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen sind.According to the invention the object is achieved by the liquid metering device specified in
Die Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung weist insbesondere folgende Merkmale und Vorteile auf:
Die, beispielsweise aus einem Prozess entnommene, zu dosierende Flüssigkeit wird periodisch in die Verdampfungskammer geleitet und dort verdampft. Der Dampf oder das bereits gebildete Kondensat wird in die Kondensatkammer geleitet, so dass dort nur noch verdampfbare Flüssigkeitskomponenten vorliegen. Während des Verdampfens und anschließenden Kondensierens der zu dosierenden Flüssigkeit werden dazu nicht benutzten Räume und Kammern mit dem Gas, z. B. dem Trägergas eines Gaschromatographen, gespült, um noch vorhandene Flüssigkeitsreste zu entfernen. Anschließend wird mit Hilfe des Gases das Kondensat in die für die Tropenerzeugung benötigten Räume und Kammern überführt, während gleichzeitig die Verdampfungskammer wieder mit Flüssigkeit gefüllt wird. Dabei sind die jeweiligen Gas- und Flüssigkeitswege durch die Ventile voneinander entkoppelt. Das Gas dient zum Spülen, Fördern der Flüssigkeit und, in Verbindung mit der Druckregeleinrichtung, zur Einstellung der Druckverhältnisse innerhalb der Flüssigdosier-Vorrichtung.The liquid metering device has in particular the following features and advantages:
The, for example, taken from a process, to be metered liquid is periodically passed into the evaporation chamber and evaporated there. The steam or the condensate already formed is passed into the condensate chamber, so that there are only evaporable liquid components. During evaporation and subsequent condensation of the liquid to be metered unused spaces and chambers with the gas, z. As the carrier gas of a gas chromatograph, rinsed to remove any remaining liquid. Subsequently, with the aid of the gas, the condensate is transferred to the rooms and chambers required for tropical production, while at the same time the evaporation chamber is filled with liquid again. The respective gas and fluid paths are decoupled from each other by the valves. The gas is used for rinsing, conveying the liquid and, in conjunction with the pressure regulating device, for adjusting the pressure conditions within the liquid metering device.
